Ireland up two places in World Rankings after Aussie triumph

Ireland's 15-6 victory over Australia has seen them move up two places to sixth in the IRB World Rankings as Australia drop one place to third.

Ireland's first World Cup win over Australia was enough to reclaim two of the four places Declan Kidney’s men dropped after losing all four of their warm-up matches in August, a run which saw them slump to eight, equalling their lowest ever ranking.
